Principal's Message
Mustang Families,
Happy New Year!
Please take some time today to review all the information on the newsletter site. Today is Monday, January 9th, 2023.
The new semester has begun, and our guidance team has done a wonderful job minimizing the impact of mid-year changes to student schedules. Should your student have a question about their schedule, we ask that they come to the counseling office before school, during snack, lunch or after school.
Be sure to check our athletics twitter feed or with the different programs if you are able to come out and support our wrestlers, soccer, basketball, or water polo athletes.
As a reminder, next Monday, January 16th is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. All district facilities will be closed.
Ms. Alicia Foulk
Principal
